Horses for courses

Another Melbourne guest, Rupert Isaacson, will speak in Sydney at a Herald/Dymocks morning tea on August 25.

Isaacson's memoir The Horse Boy tells the story of his autistic son (pictured) and the healing effect of horses. The event includes a screening from Isaacson's documentary about their journey to Mongolia, which showed at the Sydney Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. John Boyne (The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas) will give his only Sydney talk at a Herald/Dymocks lunch on August 18. Bookings on 9449 4366.
